Taylor Swift fever will be descending into Singapore. The concert of the decade will be held from the 2nd-9th of March 2024. The event has gotten the Swifties in South East Asia excited. Many fans, young and old from South East Asia will be coming to Singapore for this exclusive event. It is a concert where everyone can be 22 again. A media report cited, Singapore paid an extra USD $2m per show to have an exclusive right to Eras Tour in South East Asia. The deal with AEG, the concert promoter, had the Thai Prime Minister up in arms, staring at Blank Space in Cruel Summer Thailand. He proclaimed his country would have cough out the extra to have it held in Thailand. He boasted the show in Thailand would attract a bigger crowd than Singapore. It was a smart move by the Singapore government. “Well done Singapore” lamented Mr. Srettha. The swiftness of the Singapore-AEG deal caught him by surprise. At least we put one over Thailand where our football team has failed to do so for many years. The score Singapore 6 vs Thailand 0 (6 for the number of concerts held in Singapore). Maybe our Minister could extend an invitation to the Thai PM and his family for a Tay Swift concert in Singapore for the purpose of promoting good diplomatic relationship. I suspect Mr. Srettha might be a swiftie in disguise. To my Thai readers, Thailand has a lot to offer as a holiday destination, even without the Taylor Swift concert, it is still one of my favourite destinations. No Bad Blood please. 🙏

The merits of having a show in Singapore are obvious. Having one concert location is financially beneficial. Given our logistical hub status, equipment and personnel could be deployed swiftly. The world-class infrastructure makes Singapore every concert organiser’s dream. Besides, there is practically no revenue risk to organiser as tickets were sold out within hours. If time permits, doing a 15 shows tour in Singapore wouldn’t be a problem.  

The economic spinoff from hosting a Taylor Swift concert is proven. Some commentators in Melbourne estimate the 3 days concert in the city brought in AUD $174m in extra spending during the period and AUD $1.2B in economic benefits. Hotels, F&Bs, tourist attractions and retails are key industries benefiting. There are additional employment created from having extra security personnel, ushers for concert, private bodyguards and staffs for off-concert events. 

Taylor Swift’s influence is not only confined to social space. Some Republican Party sympathisers/supporters lashed out unwarranted criticisms on her for trying to influence voters to vote for Biden in the 2024 Presidential Election. One thing for certain, she is more popular than the incumbent. Unofficial numbers put the Swifties in America at 128m. Politics aside, the Eras Tour is the first concert tour to hit $1 billion in revenue. It catapulted Taylor to be among the top celebrities in the world. It was reported her net worth is around $1.1B. She is one of the most influential artists of her generation, breaking new ground in entertainment which led her to be chosen as the TIME PERSON OF THE YEAR for 2023 by the TIME Magazine.

For those coming for the concert, I hope you have an awesome night. Be Enchanted by the lights of the Lion City where the  Sparks Fly and Wildest Dreams come true. Do remember to “shake it off” your “I knew you were trouble” behind. Have some Clean fun during your time in Singapore and good mannerism never go out of Style. This is a friendly message from the “I can see you” security department.🙃

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *The video

  (Credit: Yahoo Finance; Last index high of 3900 in 2007, 16 years and counting. Lost decade of Singapore Market) I spent two nights thinking about this write up since it is a subject close to my heart. The passion and concern I had for our stock market are real. I hope SGX can see my commentary in a positive light. It is about solving problem that matters, no witch-hunting was intended. During my last monthly update. I am critical about SGX for not doing enough to promote the vibrancy of our stock market. After the blog, I have been getting more SGX senior executives looking at my LinkedIn profile. I hope people at SGX can see it as constructive criticism. I want to make my point of view clear before anyone get an impression that I am grinding my axe on our stock market. I love Singapore market, I am also a bull on Singaporean companies. How could I not love our stock market where I allocate most of my investment? The declining interest in our stock market did not happen overnight, i

Without knowing a word of French or local culture, she embarked on a difficult journey of communicating with her colleagues and clients, in which it resulted in miscommunication and her being the butt of the joke. Emily assumed everyone in Paris could or wanted to communicate in English. She was forced to learn the language in class so as to communicate well with her colleagues and clients. It is important to understand the language of choice in the area one operates so as to be able to communicate effectively i
